How I became a tattooist
At 11, I was sure I was going to be a cartoon director. Then it turned out a bit differently - as it always does. I spent almost twenty years as a porcelain painter in a prestigious manufactory. Once I got sucked into the world of tattooing, I realised how much more exciting it is to not only own a beautiful object, but to be a work of art.
From brushes to needles
Whether you have a porcelain painter brush or a tattoo needle in your hand, a craftsman should strive for perfection regardless of the technique. I'm passionate about my work and I'm absolutely fascinated by meeting people in far-away places through it. Before becoming a resident artist in Munich, I tattooed in Manchester and Ratisbon.
Black wings
To depict the hair, feathers and eyes of an animal is one of the most exciting tasks. It is always a pleasure to be asked to do this, the large scale work makes for particularly vivid and detailed tattoos.
My personal favourites are the neo-traditional style motifs - the effect of the beautiful long curves and precise lines is enhanced by the bright, well-chosen colours.
Custom made
If you don't have a specific idea yet... never mind, we can find the right style and motif during a personal consultation, and I will create a unique tattoo design that best suits you. A common request is to cover up an old or boring tattoo with a new one. In such cases, it is always possible to decide after a personal meeting what the old tattoo is suitable for and what new motif is worth covering it with.
Nipple correction by tattoo
A loving relationship with our bodies is the foundation of our self-confidence. However, sometimes acceptance of certain parts of our bodies can be difficult and our body image can be compromised.
There are many reasons why a woman or a man may be unhappy with their nipples. Scarring, abnormalities, reminders of painful memories and unusually shaped pigment spots can affect the appearance of the nipples and areola, which in some cases may be absent altogether. If you want to feel comfortable in your own skin again, nipple reconstruction is the option you've been waiting for. The correction is performed by realistic 3D pigmentation of the areola and the nipple. The colour will be individually mixed to suit your skin type and tone for the perfect final result.
Where to find me
The studio where I work has been in the Sendling district of Munich for more than 25 years.
Besides my work in Munich, I regularly work as a guest tattooist in Bavaria and in Switzerland.
